Would love to hear if anyone had sucess with quitting smoking after reading Allen Carr's book Easy Way To Stop Smoking?

Thanks
Debs

Hi Debs,

I stopped for about 3 weeks after I read the book - then I did what was strictly 'verboten' - thought I could just have one or two at night (missing a ciggie with the glass of wine) - NOT a good look - the consumption crept up again.

Glad you reminded me - I loaned the book to someone so must get it back in a concerted effort to try again.

There are seminars held in Auckland by those trained in Allen Carr's methods - have idly thought of going to one but not motivated sufficiently again - yet :-o

Do give it a try - his books are all plain common sense and what I like is that he doesn't thrust frightening horrors of the consequences on you - most smokers know what they are anyway!!

Good luck!!

Hi Debs, yes I read the book and agreed with everything he said but it still didn't stop me. Helen Clarke did!!!!!!!! I wasn't going to have any politician telling where I can and can't smoke so I gave up. Well to be quite honest, I had an impending operation as well, so rather than getting a lecture from the medical staff, thought the best thing to do would be to quit.My two sisters-in-law both had a bet with me too, that I couldn't give up.
So with all these incentives I found it quite easy, yeah, right. No, its not easy, as anyone will tell you. I am 5mths down the track now and I am 'clean' all but "drinkies night" when I have one long puff from my friend's ciggie, and thats my fix for the week. (I miss all my friends being outside).
I had some bad news at Christmas and it was then that I could have quite easily gone a bought a pack. (Ihad had a large whisky instead!!!)

Good luck to you if you are trying. It dosen't happen the first time or the second or the ....... but, it will happen.
Cheers
